Podcast appearances and mentions of violet berlin

We leave our Channel 4 shores this week to check out Violet Berlin's post-Bad Influence life on her Bravo show Gamepad. It's aimed at a more mature audience than Bad Influence, but a less drunken audience than Thumb Bandits and Bits. Does it hit the mark?On the show, Violet reviews Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (PS2) and Terminator: Dawn of Fate (PS2), and previews Divine Divinity (PC), Team S.AS (Xbox) and Rolling (Xbox). Plus, Mike Attaway from Official Xbox Magazine gives us a crash course on Moto GP: Ultimate Racing Technology (Xbox), while Violet counts down the top three horse racing sims.

Violet Berlin tweeted to remind us that Bad Influence (the CITV show) is now 30 years old. We think back to some the tech/computer/console/gaming shows of the time and wonder what similar shows the rest of the world had. Have you seen the 'Quake' engine that has been created for the Sinclair Spectrum? Even at 3.5Mhz it is very impressive. We take a look and Chris made some footage of it running at 3.5Mhz and at 7Mhz. Finally, a new computer museum is opening in Leigh (UK), in an old mill of all places. ctrl-alt-rees has been to take a look. Will Neil have any advice for them? All this and the community question of the week! 00:00 - Show Opening 12:30 - A Bad Influence Story Link: https://mobile.twitter.com/VioletBerlin/status/1586347678266433537 30:02 - Quake Sinclair Story Link: https://youtu.be/g1leK1PJb9o Further Reading: https://www.indieretronews.com/2022/10/quake-engine-running-on-zx-spectrum.html 47:57 - Retro Computer Museum Takes People On Digital Adventure In Leigh Story Link: https://www.leighjournal.co.uk/news/23026150.retro-computer-museum-taking-shape-leigh/ 58:15 - Community Question of the Week

#398 VW Grand California. Gareth and Violet take the big brother of the famous Volkswagen camper on an adventure to Wales, but unfortunately the trip doesn't quite go as planned.

I was joined for a fun chat with Violet Berlin who explained her job as a storyteller. We had a chat about what that actually involves, as well as delving a little into Violet's background as a TV presenter and producer (amongst other things). This episode also contains birdsong, and possibly the secret to not being hurt by criticism. It'll make sense when you listen.

Here comes a new challenger!

My guest today is Violet Berlin, a writer, educator, producer and presenter, perhaps best known to listeners as the presenter of the video game TV series Bad Influence. We talk calculator games, Space Museums, Game & Watch, the hidden adventure within Zelda, a deep love for Castlevania, how Eternal Darkness tricked her a little too hard and bonding with her children through video games. We also talk about how she never owned a TV until she worked on TV, her unlikely route to becoming a TV presenter, working for the biggest museum project in the world, the thrill of meeting curators, gunge recipes, being passionate about your interests and how she ended up as a playable character in Micro Machines 2. BONUS GUEST! In a particularly bumper episode I also speak to Dr. Jennifer Hazel about her non profit company Checkpoint (good name!) which acts at the intersection of mental health and video games. We have a fascinating chat about the clinical use of video games in treating mental health issues, and about their Kickstarter campaign to create a web series about these issues. If you're curious and you'd like to support it, there are still a few days left to back it - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/checkpoint/the-checkpoint-series "Remember to set your video recorders for the datablast!"

UNDERTALE. What a game! What is this game? Is this a game? Where am I? Why am I laughing? Because this is some of the best writing in a video game. Joe felates it, Conal doesn't trust it. That's all you need to know. It's going for about three quid on Steam. Buy it you plum! Things get steamy for Violet Berlin, we read an erotic letter by Luigi to a secret lover, and the boys become ever closer brothers. www.lifeoralevel.com

Jurassic Park on the snes. What a shit game but that doesn't stop the boys playing it. Violet Berlin shows up again, Billy Mitchell has another anecdote and Hideo's weekend plans are all laid out. click the link below to listen to Hideo Kojima's SEX TAPE https://open.spotify.com/user/conaldeeney/playlist/4FkqxW5Ztai02T0xVZo3mn?si=v0u_d3b2T9yvHYC0FB-MCg

In an episode recorded over the course of five hours, your hosts gather at Chez Neil for their own mini Christmas party, with a fine array of mince pies, cheeses and ales, as well as two of their favourite festive movies. The result? A fun and rambling journey which gets increasingly erratic as we continue. Both nursing sore throats and hangovers from previous nights' office parties, we nevertheless get to all of the important questions, such as why Hans Gruber owns a TARDIS on wheels, which of Macaulay Culkin's traps constitute appropriate force, whether the Nakatomi Corporation employees deserved an externally-hosted Christmas party, how long Kevin McAllister would survive in Die Hard, and which film has the most inept police presence. There's also a special post-credits treat, as Dan treats us to a reading of A Die Hard Christmas. Home Alone discussion begins at 6 minutes, and Die Hard commences at 33 minutes.

#246 On being a car person. Supermarket trolley handling. The World Land Speed Record for tanks. The death of Chrysler in the UK. Sniff Petrol on grid girls and IndyCar. Plus new On Speed music: The Walking Heads perform “Going To Stay Awake All Night”.

Hardly one clubber didn’t feel or hear at least one track live on the dancefloor by Santé over the last few weeks thanks to a heavy rotation of many different DJs. The current Maxis by Souvenir and Rekids have hit House and Techno floors alike in a time where only good electric dance music is mentioned.Peaktime Entertainment par excellence. Prior to looking ahead a brief flashback to Swabia, to Ulm to be precise. Because that’s where Santé originates and even though they now live in berlin, funnily his Rekids maxi-single has been signed right away in the local Club Chateu Knarz by Matt Edwards aka Radio Slave when the track was played last in His live set. Good timing is everything. Philipp is bringing the Santé sound as a liveact or dj direct to the clubs. Successful ive gigs in clubs like the Weekend, Watergate,Violet Berlin, Robert Johnson, Alte Börse Zürich, Winter Music Conference Miami, Electronic Music Festival Brüssel or Rocker 33,Fabric London, Sonar Barcelona, 10 Days Off lie behind him. A votre Santé on the dancefloors around the world
